  • "First, I would operationalize the term "slip" by asking: What’s slipping — delivery, scope, quality, or decision-making? Second, I would ask the following questions that help me shape the possible causes for the "slip": What is important for us in this project delivery: time/quality/scope? What is the priory of this project? Is it urgent? Do we have a strict customer or other stakeholder commitment? Is it a big project that involves multiple teams or is only one team involved"

    "To determine which features go into a Minimum Viable Product (MVP), I focus on balancing user needs with business goals, while keeping technical feasibility in mind. My approach usually includes these key steps: 1. Understand the problem deeply: I start by identifying the core user problem we’re solving—whether that’s through user interviews, support tickets, usage data, or stakeholder input. The goal is to figure out what success looks like for the user in the most basic but valuable form."
